2 Mootota 8

1 Yeroo kanatti Elsaaʼi dubartii ilma ishee duʼaa kaaseef sanaan, “Sababii Waaqayyo beela waggaa torba turu tokko biyya kanatti ajajeef, maatii kee wajjin asii deemiitii iddoo jiraachuu dandeessu kam iyyuu jiraadhu” jedhe.

Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, you and your household; go and live as a foreigner wherever you can. For the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine, and it has already come to the land.”

2 Dubartiin sunis kaatee akkuma namni Waaqaa sun jedheen goote. Ishee fi maatiin ishee dhaqanii biyya Filisxeemotaa keessa waggaa torba jiraatan.

So the woman had proceeded to do as the man of God had instructed. And she and her household lived as foreigners for seven years in the land of the Philistines.

3 Isheenis dhuma waggaa torbaatti biyya Filisxeemotaatii deebitee manaa fi lafa ishee kadhachuuf gara mootichaa ni dhaqxe.

At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the king to appeal for her house and her land.

4 Mootichis, “Mee waan Elsaaʼi hojjete gurguddaa natti himi” jedhee Gehaaz tajaajilaa nama Waaqaa sana wajjin haasaʼaa ture.

Now the king had been speaking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please relate to me all the great things Elisha has done.”

5 Utuma Gehaaz akka Elsaaʼi nama duʼe illee duʼaa kaase isatti himuutti jiruu dubartiin Elsaaʼi ilma ishee duʼaa kaaseef sun manaa fi lafa ishee kadhachuudhaaf gara mootichaa dhufte. Gehaazis, “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, dubartiin Elsaaʼi mucaa ishee duʼaa kaaseef sun kunoo ti” jedhe.

And Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”

6 Mootichi waaʼee waan sanaa dubartittii gaafate; isheenis itti himte. Innis ergasii qondaala tokko dubbii isheetti ramadee, “Galii guyyaa isheen biyyaa baatee jalqabee lafa qotiisaa ishee irraa argame hunda itti dabaliitii waan kan ishee ture hunda deebisiif” jedheen.

When the king asked the woman, she confirmed it. So the king appointed for her an officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, along with all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the country until now.”

7 Elsaaʼi Damaasqoo dhaqe; Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa immoo dhukkubsatee ture. Mootiin sunis yommuu, “Namni Waaqaa sun as dhufee jira” jedhanii itti himanitti,

Then Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and the king was told, “The man of God has come here.”

8 Hazaaʼeeliin akkana jedhe; “Kennaa wayii fudhadhuutii dhaqii nama Waaqaa sana simadhu. Karaa isaatiinis, ‘Ani dhukkuba kana irraa nan hafaa?’ jedhii Waaqayyoon gaafadhu.”

So the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

9 Hazaaʼeelis waan Damaasqoo keessaa akka malee gaggaarii taʼe fudhatee kennaa feʼiisa gaala afurtamaatiin Elsaaʼin simachuu dhaqe. Ol seenees fuula isaa dura dhaabatee, “Ilma kee Ben-Hadaad mooticha Sooriyaatu, ‘Ani dhukkuba kana irraa hafaa?’ jedhee sitti na erge” jedheen.

So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

10 Elsaaʼi immoo, “Dhaqiitii, ‘Ati dhugumaan irraa hafta’ jedhiin; garuu Waaqayyo akka inni dhugumaan duʼu na argisiiseera” jedhee deebiseef.

Elisha answered, “Go and tell him, ‘You will surely recover.’ But the LORD has shown me that in fact he will die.”

11 Elsaaʼi hamma Hazaaʼeel qaanaʼutti utuu ija irraa hin buqqifatin isa ilaale. Ergasii namni Waaqaa sun booʼuu jalqabe.

Elisha fixed his gaze steadily on him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to weep.

12 Hazaaʼeelis, “Gooftaan koo maaliif booʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Inni immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Sababii ani miidhaa ati Israaʼelitti fiddu beekuuf; ati daʼannoo isaaniitti ibidda naqxa; dargaggoota isaanii goraadeedhaan fixxa; daaʼimman isaanii lafaan dhooftee mimmiciriqsita; dubartoota isaanii kanneen ulfaaʼan garaa baqaqsita.”

“Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil you will do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set fire to their fortresses, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little ones to pieces, and rip open their pregnant women.”

13 Hazaaʼeel, “Ani garbichi kee sareen kun akkamiin waan hamtuu akkanaa hojjedha?” jedhe. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Waaqayyo akka ati mootii Sooriyaa taatu na argisiiseera” jedhee deebiseef.

“But how could your servant, a mere dog, do such a monstrous thing?” said Hazael. And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”

14 Hazaaʼeel ergasii Elsaaʼi biraa baʼee gara gooftaa isaatti deebiʼe. Yommuu Ben-Hadaad, “Elsaaʼi maal siin jedhe?” jedhee gaafatettis, Hazaaʼeel, “Inni akka ati dhugumaan irraa haftu natti hime” jedhee deebise.

So Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he replied, “He told me that you would surely recover.”

15 Inni garuu guyyaa itti aanu wayyaa furdaa tokko fuudhee bishaan keessa cuuphee fuula mootichaa haguuge; akkasiin mootichi duʼe. Ergasii Hazaaʼeel iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.

But the next day Hazael took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-hadad died, and Hazael reigned in his place.

16 Bara Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa shanaffaatti Yooraam ilmi Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaa sun mootii taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.

In the fifth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat succeeded his father as king of Judah.

17 Yeroo sanatti umuriin isaa waggaa soddomii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa saddeet ni bulche.

Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.

18 Innis akkuma manni Ahaab godhee ture sana karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼe; intala Ahaab fuudhee tureetii. Fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan hamaa hojjete.

And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.

19 Taʼus Waaqayyo sababii garbicha isaa Daawitiif jedhee Yihuudaa balleessuun fedhii Waaqayyoo hin turre. Inni Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif ibsaa bara baraa dhaabuuf kakuu galee ture.

Yet for the sake of His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.

20 Bara Yooraam keessa Edoom Yihuudaatti fincilee mootii ofii isaa moosifate.

In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.

21 Kanaafuu Yooraam gaariiwwan isaa hunda wajjin Zaaʼiiri dhaqe. Warri Edoomis isaa fi ajajjoota gaariiwwan isaa marsan; inni garuu halkaniin kaʼee isaan ni dhaʼe; loltoonni isaa garuu gara biyya isaaniitti baqatan.

So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night. His troops, however, fled to their homes.

22 Edoom hamma harʼaatti illee akkuma Yihuudaatti finciletti jira. Libnaanis yeruma sanatti fincile.

So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.

23 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooraam keessa hojjetaman kan biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?

As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

24 Yooraam abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti isaan biratti ni awwaalame. Ahaaziyaan ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.

And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.

25 Bara Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa kudha lammaffaatti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootii Yihuudaa taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.

In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.

26 Ahaaziyaan yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa tokko ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Ataaliyaa dha; isheenis intala ilma Omrii mooticha Israaʼel sanaa turte.

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.

27 Innis karaa mana Ahaab duukaa buʼee, akkuma manni Ahaab godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; inni karaa fuudhaatiin maatii Ahaabitti firoomee tureetii.

And Ahaziah walked in the ways of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab, for he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

28 Ahaaziyaanis Yooraam ilma Ahaab wajjin Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam loluudhaaf Raamoot Giliʼaaditti duule. Warri Arraamis Yooraamin ni madeessan;

Then Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.

29 kanaafuu Yehooraam mootichi madaa warri Arraam yeroo inni Raamaat keessatti Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam wajjin wal loletti isa madeessan sana fayyuuf jedhee Yizriʼeelitti deebiʼe. Kana irratti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootichi Yihuudaa sababii inni madaaʼee tureef Yooraam ilma Ahaab arguuf gara Yizriʼeelitti gad buʼe.

So King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
